The stage is set for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to inaugurate the new state-of-the-art Parliament building in New Delhi.

A day ahead of the historic occasion, the PM described the new building as a "temple of democracy" and wished that it continues to strengthen India's development trajectory and empower millions.

"Several people are expressing their joy on #MyParliamentMyPride. Through very emotional voice-overs they are conveying a spirit of pride that our nation is getting a new Parliament which will keep working to fulfill people's aspirations with more vigour," he said in another tweet.

WHO ARE THE ATTENDEES?
As many as 25 parties are expected to attend the inauguration. Former vice-president M Venkaiah Naidu, Lok Sabha speaker Om Birla, former PM HD Deve Gowda and Rajya Sabha deputy chairman Harivansh among others are expected to be present during the formal inauguration of the new complex. The BJP has issued specific instructions for its MPs with regard to attendance at some other events before the main event, as it is also the 140th birth anniversary of Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar. They have also been asked to attend the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ programme.

WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF THE NEW BUILDING?
PM Modi had laid the foundation stone of the new parliament building on December 10, 2020. It is a triangular-shaped four-storey building with a built-up area of 64,500 sq m. It has three main gates — Gyan Dwar, Shakti Dwar, and Karma Dwar. It will have separate entrances for VIPs, MPs, and visitors.

With carpets from Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh, bamboo flooring from Tripura and stone carvings from Rajasthan, the building has material acquired from various parts of the country. ‘Sengol’, which was handed over to Modi by Adheenam seers, will be placed near the chair of Lok Sabha speaker in the house chamber.

Constructed by Tata Projects Ltd, the building will have a grand constitution hall to showcase India’s democratic heritage, a lounge for MPs, a library, multiple committee rooms, dining areas and ample parking space. The building can comfortably seat 888 members in the Lok Sabha chamber and 300 in the Rajya Sabha chamber. In case of a joint sitting of both the Houses, a total of 1,280 members can be accommodated in the lower house.

The teakwood was sourced from Nagpur in Maharashtra, while the red and white sandstone was procured from Sarmathura in Rajasthan. The Kesharia green stone has been procured from Udaipur, the red granite from Lakha near Ajmer and the white marble from Ambaji in Rajasthan.

The steel structure for the false ceilings in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha have been sourced from Daman and Diu, while the furniture in the new building was crafted in Mumbai. The stone ‘jaali’ (lattice) works were sourced from Rajnagar in Rajasthan and Noida in Uttar Pradesh. The materials for the Ashoka Emblem were sourced from Aurangabad in Maharashtra and Jaipur in Rajasthan, while the Ashok Chakra donning the massive walls of the two houses as well as exteriors were brought in from Indore in Madhya Pradesh.

Manufactured sand or M-sand from Charkhi Dadri in Haryana has been used for creating concrete mix for the construction activities. It is considered environment-friendly as it is manufactured by crushing large hard stones or granite and not by dredging river beds. The fly ash bricks used in construction were sourced from Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, while brass works and pre-cast trenches were from Ahmedabad in Gujarat.
